  • Pass / Borderline / Distinction tier with score estimate
  • Every marking point checked, not just a grade
  • Model answer written at BPT examiner standard
  • Topic sessions or random sets across all 13 disciplines
  • AI question generation in BPT clinical reasoning format

The BPT Written Examination

The RACP Basic Physician Training Written Examination (DWE) is a 170-question MCQ paper assessing clinical knowledge across all internal medicine disciplines. Sitting the DWE is a requirement of BPT and must be passed before progressing to advanced training. The clinical examination (DCE) follows separately, assessing long case presentation and short case interpretation. Pass rates sit around 55% per sitting.

Frequently asked
The DWE tests clinical reasoning across complex multi-system cases. Structured written practice forces you to organise your thinking in the same way the MCQs test it: differential diagnosis, investigation rationale, evidence-based management with specific drug names and doses. Candidates who can write a structured answer consistently outperform those who can only pattern-match options. The clinical reasoning grader trains exactly that skill.
They're modelled on the RACP DWE format: single best answer from four options, with extended matching question sets. The questions are mapped to BPT curriculum topics and written to reflect the clinical complexity and discipline weighting of the real paper. Community answer distributions show how other BPT candidates responded after each question.
Yes. The long case simulation has you presenting a structured case summary to an AI examiner after a virtual 60-minute patient encounter, with follow-on probing across problem list, investigations, and management. The short case simulation has the examiner describe specific physical findings and probe your interpretation. Voice mode lets you speak your answers just as you would in the real DCE.
